More on Mac as a human

So, I thought more about Mac and his human-like characterisitics... here are more to add to the list:

• Mac groans, sighs, and stretches just like an old man... He lets out lengthy groans with a sigh when we're lazin' around the house, when he's being impatient about something, and every time he gets up, combined with a front and then back leg stretch.
• Mac has weight issues and often shows frustration in how big he is. He weighs in at about 80 lbs. ... the size of a small human... although, he's covered in fur and has a tail that could knock you out, so don't let that 'small human comparison' confuse you - he is big and doesn't know what to do with his size. He often gets frustrated when he realizes that his size doesn't accomodate well as a lap dog, or even better, as a dog that can sit on the upper back side of the couch.
• He is slowly learning to grasp the English language. So far, he is confident that the following words are good ones to perk your head at or do an action to (as it is usually followed up with good things): Sit, Stay, Down, Dead, Up, Paw, Other Paw, Both Paws, Gentle, Give, Come, No, Bath, Car, Walk, Go, Be quick, Hurry up, 'go-see-Lee' (his 'masters'), yogurt, and treat (obviously).
• He has obsessions. They are not the best obsessions, and we have probably instilled them in him without knowing, but they are entertaining to say the least. Mac has 3 major obsessions: barking at that same dog in the mirror, getting water out of his ears after a bath and causing an uproar with noises and movements, and the biggest of all, is in the presence of light reflections or shadows. As soon as he spots one, he will focus on in, try to eat it and/or catch it, and not be able to let it go until it is gone for a long period of time or you've taken him out of the room where it 'orginally' was. Let's just say taking pictures of Mac are usually pretty easy because of the flash - he will intently stare it down. However, if you get too close, he will attempt to catch the lights coming from the camera... (see first picture posted in Post 1)
